(no subject)
Right, I'm barely more controlled right now, burning rage giving way to the void of depressing hopelessnes...
*Sigh* Why do I always get so melodramatic when I'm like this? I guess, somewhere, deep down in me there's a little goth trying to dig his way out... All the more reason to supress these urges I guess.
Okay, long story short, I lost my wallet, either I dropped it on the central station or in the train, and no-one saw fit to turn it in, or far more likely, some utter bastard nicked it from me at the aforementioned location.
Fortunately, there weren't any real money in it, unfortunately, something else was...
My passport! Yes, I know, who the hell carries his passport around in his wallet? Well I've only just begun doing that, and only because I wanted to make sure I wouldn't forget it somewhere.
So, that's the delightful situation, my wallet, with all my personal ID, my visa card (which I duly had blocked, of course) and my passport is gone, and I have a plane leaving for USA in 2 days 3 hours and 50 minutes. Incidently, the ticket is non-refundable...
So, unless any of my loyal readers out there can get me in touch with nice people who can make me a spotless forgery on VERY short notice, I'm afraid I'm up the creek without the proverbial paddle.
I'll try to talk to the people at the passport office first thing tomorrow, but even if they can miracolously issue me a replacement in just under 24 hours, I doubt that will be good enough to get me into the States due to the new visa-rules requiring that my passport must be "machine readable" for me to get into the country without a visa. I'll also try talking to the American embassy and hear if they can tell me anything, and failing everything else, I suppose I'll have to try and negotiate with the travel agency to see how serious they are about that whole "non-refundable" thingie.
*Sigh* I really hate my life right now, and if there were a referendum today about replacing the Danish criminal law with the Sharia, I'd most likely vote yes just out of anger and spite!

Melkhor, *insert usual witty tag-line here* I'm too upset to do it myself...
